ETSI:

This device must be operated as supplied by FreeWave Technologies, Inc. Any
changes or modifications made to the device without the express written approval of
FreeWave Technologies may void the user's authority to operate the device.
ETSI EMC standards EN 300 826 (common to – 328 and – 440 standards)
The device must be installed in a metal enclosure that is electrically grounded to
meet safety requirements.
ETSI standards ETSI EN 300 328
This device complies under two conditions:
(1) EN 300 328 operating mode is selected in the setup menu.
(2) EIRP maximum limit of 100 mW (20 dBm) is met. A programmed maximum
power setting of “10” results in device transmit output power of 100 mW (20
dBm). Under this condition the total gain including all cables and the antenna
must not exceed 0 dB. If the total gain exceeds 0 dB, the device power
setting must be reduced to meet the 100 mW (20 dBm) EIRP limit.
ETSI standards ETSI EN 300 440
Applicable definition: RFID as defined in the ERC/REC 70-03E, Annex 11:
“…radio frequency identification (RFID) applications including for example automatic
article identification, asset tracking, alarm systems, waste management, personal
identification, access control, proximity sensors, anti-theft systems, data transfer to
handheld devices and wireless control systems.”
This device complies under three conditions:
(1) EN 300 440 operating mode is selected in the setup menu.
(2) EIRP maximum limit of 500 mW (27 dBm) is met. A programmed maximum
power setting of “10” results in device transmit output power of 500 mW (27
dBm). Under this condition the total gain including all cables and the antenna
must not exceed 0 dB. If the total gain exceeds 0 dB, the device power
setting must be reduced to meet the 500 mW (20 dBm) EIRP limit (see chart
settings chart below).
(3) Antenna requirements:
a. Beam-width equal or less than +/- 45 degrees horizontal.
b. Side-lobe attenuation equal or more than 15 dB.
c. Physical protection (e.g. antenna dome) with dimensions to limit the
power transfer from the RFID antenna to a quarter wave matched dipole
positioned at an extreme close proximity to less than or equal to + 15
dBm.
(4) Outside use only.
